Find the perfect outfit for every holiday occasion
It’s tough picking out the perfect outfit for every holiday occasion. It’s especially difficult for us short men who have a tough time finding clothes that fit well. Do you dress up? Do you dress down? What will your in-laws wear? Should you wear neutral colors, or festive colors? Should you layer up, or should you dress to stay inside? There are so many questions short men like us often feel like we have to answer before choosing our outfits for the holiday season.
We’re here to help. In this guide, we’ll go over several timeless outfits and holiday styles for short men you can choose from to make sure you make a great impression during any holiday occasion.
Christmas dinner styles for short men
The Christmas dinner table is a place where you should feel comfortable, no matter whose house you’re at. When it comes to choosing an outfit that fits shorter men like yourself, the most important thing to remember is your clothes need to fit well. When you have the fit of your clothes down, you automatically upgrade your style. Don’t worry about choosing the right pattern, color, or accessories before you nail the fit of your clothes.
Once you have fit covered you can start to think about everything else, such as the colors you should wear, the patterns you should match, and the accessories you want to show off. If you’re attending a dinner party where you expect everyone else to be relatively casual, then you can get by with a nice simple button-down shirt for short men. Depending on how festive your family—or loved ones—are, you can opt for a nice holiday color. We suggest keeping it neutral and wearing a nice solid color or a simple plaid button-down shirt. If you want to dress it up a tiny bit, you can add a merino wool sweater made just for short men.
If you’re expected to dress up, then we recommend a simple dress shirt paired with a nice pair of chino pants. For example, navy chinos paired with a light blue dress shirt. This look is definitely one that will impress whoever is eyeing you and your personal style at the dinner table.
While these are simple suggestions, feel free to explore more Christmas dinner outfit ideas with our full guide to holiday dinner styles.
